Today is the 102nd anniversary of his killing by RIC men from what was then King Street (today MacCurtain Street) RIC Barracks, in his pyjamas in front of his wife and children in his home in Blackpool, on his 36th birthday.

Ah lads - do ye have to equate everything with Soundy?
MacCurtain should be remembered for what he did for Cork and Ireland.
That is perfectly legitimate. There's a reason we named a street after him.

I posted this as a new thread because with the absolutely sh*t search function on the latest iteration of the PROC I couldn't find a former one from the last couple of years.

As for the reaction of some of the usual suspects here to even a thread commemorating a former Lord Mayor of this city, one whose bust is prominently displayed at Cork City Hall, and someone who was killed for his beliefs in Irish Freedom while I'm not overly surprised I am disappointed.

Yet I found the other thread in under a minute.


Funny that.
It's almost like you didn't bother searching.

What sort of self-respecting Cork man would be found dead wearing pyjamas?

Sometimes a gif shows perfectly what an absolute fail of man and internetter (it's a made up word) you are better than words ever could.

Even apart from your made up word could you enlighten us as to what you actually had in mind when you followed it up by saying "you are better than words ever could"
